But he could hold back, Yan Xiong couldn't help it, he put down his fast son, pointed to Kong Piercing and said: "Lao Tzu doesn't know what is not polite, Lao Tzu only knows that we ordinary commoners sit together as a family to eat, and only you so-called nobles engage in these vain things." We civilians don't have much food in the first place, and if we had eaten as you said, we would have starved to death. Zhao Kuo nodded when he heard this, Yan Xiong's words were not rough, which is why Confucius said

"It's not a good courtesy." It's not that Confucius looked down on the Shu people, but that 'etiquette' is not suitable for the Shu people, when a person can't even eat enough, you talk to him about the courtesy?

Isn't that? If they follow the weekly etiquette, they are indeed violating the etiquette now. But...... Is there still less disrespectful things that Lao Zhao's family has done?

Didn't you see that even Yu Xin didn't speak.

"Etiquette is first and foremost to serve people, not to bind human nature. Besides, Zhou Li is already backward, and it is long overdue for change. Xun Zi said nonchalantly.

In his view, all 'self-denial and retribution' is nonsense, and different systems in different eras should be based on reality.

"Heretics have always advocated that human nature is inherently evil, so why do they say today that propriety should not restrain human nature? Shouldn't evil humanity be restrained? Kong Piercing grabbed Xunzi's loophole and immediately fought back.

Zhao Kuo secretly complained on the side, he never expected that these two guys would be able to quarrel even for a meal.

He just thinks that eating like this is more atmospheric, and besides, everyone is an acquaintance, so there is no need to be so particular.

He swore that if he knew that the two of them would quarrel, he would honestly hold a banquet according to the weekly rites and never go beyond it.

The old man heard that during the Yaoshun period, the productivity was insufficient, and the food planted was not enough to maintain the survival of the entire tribe, so people often formed teams to hunt in the mountains, and after obtaining the prey, they gathered around and ate it. Could it be that Mr. Kong Piercing thinks that Yao Shun is not enough? Xunzi said with a smile.

What he said was put forward by Confucius and Mencius

"King Faxian." Confucius believed: "The way of the first king, Si is beautiful." Mencius said: "Follow the way of the kings",

"Obey the law of the kings", the way of kings and ministers,

"Both are just Fa Yao Shun." But in Xunzi's view, these are extremely ridiculous, the ancient ritual system, after a long time, has long been annihilated in the dust of history.

Confucius once said

"Xia Liwu can say, but it is not enough; Yin Liwu can say, Song is not enough. The literature is insufficient. "Even Xia Yin's gift information is not perfect, but he said that he wanted it

"The Law of the Ancestors",

"Fa Yao Shun", isn't it ridiculous? It's simply that

"Call the king to deceive the foolish." Xunzi is now using the way of Confucius and Mencius to fight back against the hole, just like Gongsun Long used the words of Confucius to counterattack the hole.

"......" piercing was suddenly speechless. He can refute Xunzi and say that Xunzi is wrong, but he can't say that what Confucius and Mencius said is wrong, because what he learned is the way of Confucius and Mencius.

"Huh!" Xunzi sneered twice, even the ancestors didn't dare to object, how could they surpass the ancestors? If you can't surpass your ancestors, how can such a school and such a family make progress?

If it fails to progress, even if it is a prosperous family, it will only become a shame for Confucius in the end, and a shame for Confucius.

"Mr. Kong, can you know why Confucius admired Zhou rites so much?" Xunzi continued.

"The old ancestor once said, 'I said Xia Li, but it is not enough to levy. I learn Yin Li, there is Song Cunyan. I learn Zhou Li, use it today, I follow Zhou', and said, 'Zhou Jian is in the second generation, depressed and depressed, I follow Zhou. Therefore, the ancestors respected the Zhou rites. Kong Piercing leaned over and said, not because of respect for Xunzi, but because of respect for Confucius.

In this case, why did Confucius put forward it on the basis of Zhou etiquette

"Benevolence"? Xunzi put a vegetable leaf in his mouth, swallowed it, and then said.

"The benevolent is the foundation of etiquette. The old ancestor once said,

"Benevolence but not benevolence, what is courtesy? Benevolence but not benevolence, how can it be happy? ”

"Self-denial is benevolence. One day of self-denial and revenge, the world will return to benevolence. "Kong Chuanchuan said with his head held high.

"Wrong." Xunzi said loudly,

"Because compared with Xia Li and Yin Li, Zhou Rite is the most perfect, the most advanced, and the most suitable for this era. Because it's suitable for today's use. That's why Confucius chose Zhou Li. ”

"But! The advanced of Zhou Li is the advanced of 800 years ago, not the advanced of the present! No system can be advanced by 300 or 500 years...... Even 800 years later, it is still advanced. ”

"In the process of advocating the Zhou rites, Confucius discovered the shortcomings of the Zhou rites, and in order to be more in line with the times at that time, he carried out reforms and proposed 'benevolence', and then Mencius proposed 'righteousness'. But...... Society is constantly changing, and Confucius's etiquette is backward today. ”

"You people keep saying that you are learning the way of Confucius and Mencius, but you don't even know why the way of Confucius and Mencius is like this, you can only see the surface, read dead books, read dead books. But I can't see where Confucianism continues to improve. ”

"Even if you don't make progress, you still have to block the progress of others and prevent others from opening up new paths. What is the difference between you and those who obstructed Confucius and Mencius? This is the so-called Confucian disciple? This is the so-called descendants of Confucius? If Confucius knew that his descendants were like you, he would have blushed. Xunzi's words rang loudly, like a morning bell and a dusk drum ringing in the hall, shaking through the ears and rumbling, and the eyes were black.

Lost again! Facing Xunzi, he has never won!

"Can Mr. Kong Pierce know why Zhou Li stipulates that 'the Son of Heaven eats too fast, cattle, sheep and pigs are all three livestock, the princes eat cattle, the Qing eats sheep, the doctor eats pigs, the scholars eat fish, and the people eat vegetables'?" Xunzi said.

"Please teach Xunzi." Kong Piercing no longer had the idea of continuing to argue with Xunzi.

"Because the Zhou Dynasty has just been established, the world is chaotic, the social system is in urgent need of stability, and the people are in urgent need of recuperation. In order to reduce the burden on the people, avoid the aristocratic class from grinding the people excessively, so that the people can live. Therefore, Zhou Gong prescribed that each class eat different foods. ”

"At the same time, it is also stipulated that 'the princes do not kill cattle for no reason, the doctors do not kill sheep for no reason, the scholars do not kill dogs and pigs for no reason, and the people do not eat treasures for no reason', the people have the opportunity to recuperate, and the nobles have also obtained their own benefits, so the Zhou rites can be fully implemented."

"But now the weekly rite system has long collapsed, and the etiquette and music do not exist, and it is completely unrealistic to emphasize the weekly rites." Xunzi said loudly.

If nothing else, simply continuing to stipulate the way of eating for all classes will be resisted by all classes.

The Zhou Dynasty is almost gone, who will maintain the Zhou ceremony? Relying on those who rebelled against the Zhou Dynasty? No kidding, okay.

Yan Xiong was stunned when he heard it next to him, he still didn't understand that he just ate a piece of meat, how could it be Confucius, Zhou Gong, Xia Li, and Yao Shun.

Is it still so particular about eating a piece of meat?

"This group of scholars is really troublesome, and torturing their own people is really a set." Yan Xiong shook his head and continued to eat heavily, not caring about the argument between Xunzi and Kong Piercing at all.

Kong Chuan lowered his head and was silent, Kong Bin seemed not to see his brother being bullied by Xunzi, and grabbed meat with Yan Xiong to eat.

It's not that he doesn't want to help with the hole, but he understands that even if he goes up, he will buy one get one free. It's better to wait for everyone to arrive, and then kill Xunzi's arrogance.

"What does the king think?" Lin Xiangru asked suddenly.
